PRT score
Every event needs at least 45 points.
Bike scoring belongs in the official app or PRIMS.
It depends on your exact approved bike model, weight, and calories. This guide will not substitute an unverified formula.

Rules & guidance
Plain-language highlights. Follow your command's schedule and your CFL's direction.
01BCA measurementsHeight, waist, weight, and official rounding
Height rounds up to the next half-inch. Each waist reading rounds down to a half-inch. If the first two readings differ by more than one inch, a third is required and the closest two are averaged. Weight rounds to the nearest pound, with a half-pound rounded up.

02Probationary is a pass—with FEP45 points passes an event but triggers FEP
45 points is passing for an event, but a Probationary event requires FEP. You remain in FEP until a later official PFA has Good Low or better in every cleared event.

03Alternate cardioCommand approval and qualifying equipment
The 1.5-mile run/walk is standard. Your CO or OIC may authorize a qualifying treadmill, Concept2 rower, 500-yard or 450-meter swim, or an approved stationary bike. Approval is not automatic.

04Medical clearance and waiversPHA, PARFQ, PPAQ, and command approval
Have a current PHA and required DRHAs, complete your current-cycle PARFQ, and answer the day-of PPAQ. A positive screen goes to an HCP or AMDR. A recommendation is not final until the CO decides.

05Pregnancy and postpartumDeferral and return-to-participation timing
The PFA is deferred during pregnancy and for 12 months following birth, qualifying pregnancy loss, or stillbirth. This is not processed as an ordinary medical waiver.

06Bad Day PRTOne command-authorized retest under strict conditions
A CO may grant one retest under specific conditions. It is not for score improvement, and it does not retest the BCA. You must retake every originally cleared PRT modality within the prescribed window.

07If you failFEP, records, advancement, and repeat failures
A current failure means FEP and personnel-record consequences. Beginning with CY2026 Cycle 1, the most recent failure can block frocking, advancement, or promotion until an official or authorized Special PFA pass. Three failures in the most recent four years trigger separation processing.

08Combat-arms occupationsSeparate CFA/CFT requirements and scoring
SEAL, SWCC, EOD, Navy Diver, and 720X personnel have a separate CFA/CFT policy path. Do not use the ordinary calculator for the combat-fitness event; consult Guide 5B and your command.
